The Anarchists Song.

Well sell all the land for whisky and
gin,
And when its all gone we'll divide it
ag'n.
Well abolish all laws and do as we
please:
Well rob all the banks, and live at our
ease.
Well bring to this land all criminals
and fools,
And teach them to vote 'ag'in churches
and schools.
Well hang all the judges who question
our right;
Well blow up the rich with strong dyr
Mantle,
Well eat up the food of the Yankee
who delves,
And when nothing is left eat the Yanks
themselves. The Wasp.

WHILE in New York. recently, Gov.
Foraker said to the Tribune concerning
Ohio politics and Senator Sherman:
The state is solidly Republican and
cannot be shaken. Senator Sherman
has stronger hold upon the affections
of the people of the state, especially the
Republicans, than at any time in his
public career.
To the Herald be said:
The people of my state are for Sher+
man, first, last all the time. II nomi-
mated he can be elected. Mr. Blaine is
still great favorite with us. but we
think Ohio is entitled to name the candi.
date for President. Sherman. in my
opinion, would prove the strongest can,

Markers Instead of Pencils.
A glance at a ball programme usually
suffices to convince one that writing is rare

they should be thankful for the new markers,
which take the place Of pencils They con-

mouth.
L did not get away from the mayor
that day. nor that night. We drove
over the town, 1 went home with
him, and found that Mrs. Hayes and
her daughters more than deserved
what L had heard of them.
But was Hayes guilty of the muir
der of Jones?
This question was always passing
through my mind. One thing was
certain. The people of lingo did not
suspect Hayes, and the man who
made such charge against him with
out ample proof would have been in
danger of mob violence.
AT the train next morning the
mayor said, as he shook me by the
hand:
"Well, we are the only two men
now living who know about Piedras
Camp matter. There was another,
the other day, but he is dead. Good
bye"
AS the train rolled off I caught a
last glimpse of the mayor of lingo.
He was bending down and wiping
away the tear of ragged little urchin
who was crying his eyes out because
his mother was speeding away from
him on the outgoing tram.

for changing this opinion Wallace

Concerning Tariff.

The following planks from the
Ohio Republican platform are worthy
of reproduction and remembering:
"We are in favor of a protective
tariff, to secure to American citizens
the privilege of supplying every arti-
Gle which can be produced as we'll in
the United States as in other coun.
tries, sufficiently to supply Amer
ican wants. Such a tariff makes a
demand and gives employment to the
labor of American citizens, and there
by aids in securing just compensation
for labor, We denounce the Ohio
Democratic platform of a tariff for
revenue only, and which demands
an indiscriminate reduction in all
duties on imported articles, the effect
of which would be to encourage i'm
portaticn, thus giving American pat
ronage to foreign producers and for
elgn labor rar thanthe to our own"
1--WE demand such duties on wool,
and manufactures thereof, as will
secure the American market to
American producers. We denounce
the demand made under President
Cleveland's Administration by the
Secretary of the Treasury, in his
annual report of December 9Th, 1886.
for the immediate passage of an act
placing raw wool upon the free list
and we denounce the Democratic
State platform, which proclaims its
nearly and unqualified endorsement
OF said Administration, and demands
a reduction of the present duties on
WOOL and on wooden and worsted
goods. Such reduction would destroy
our wool growing and wooden manu-.
featuring industries, would invite
large imports, break down A merican
competition. and give the control of
our market to foreign producers, who
would ultimately demand exorbitant
prices. We earnestly protest against
the decision of the Secretary of the
treasury in customs cases in the in
terest of the foreign producer and
foreign labor. as in opposition to the
letter and spirit of the tariff laws.r-

EX-SENATOR JONES.

HIS LATE UNFORTUNATE LOVE AFFAIR

DETROIT, November 25.--[Special. The

discussed by the newspapers. All sorts of
rumors about him are constantly i'll circulation
and they keep the newspaper reporters hust-

A tidal wave of excitement occurred this
evening when it was announced as fact that
he had taken his life. The report was untrue,
but it would not surprise many people to learn
of his death at any time. lie is morose and in
deplorable state of mind, while his clothes
are badly out of gear. Several days ago one of
Senator Jones's friends sent letter to his
second son, John, who is employed in the
patent Office in Washington, asking him to
come on at once, and he is now here.

To-day your correspondent, who has enjoyed
the ex-senators friendship, called upon him
and succeeded in getting him to talk some

with or advise him ON the subject of his finan-
clai difficulties or of engaging him in the prac-
tice OF his profession. He simply walks away
and will have nothing to say. He declares
that he has saved the people of the country
millions OF dollars, has been liberal since com
ing to Detroit, and that the people owe him
living, which he seems bound to have regard
less OF the opinions it may create and the com
ment which it eXcites. He is q regular attend
ant at mass and strict observer of other re-
ligous duties, but, aside from that, the whole
course OF his life seems to conform with the
delusion which threatens his life.
When ex-senator jones' circumstances first
became Strengthened he could have borrowed
all the money he wanted. He did get frequent
loans and could, perhaps, get them now By per-
sonal application. But one spredominating
characteristic is his high spirit, and instead of
going frankly to his friends and stating his
case, he has sent requests by messengers until
finally these ceased TO have the desired effect
He is a man that friend and adviser cannot
talk to. When told by Detective O'Neil that
he could get money to pay his debts and take
him home, if he would see his friends, he re-
piled; "Let them come to me-" Senator Jones
